INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Indianapolis Metropolitan police have arrested the mother of a 3-month-old infant who was found dead Tuesday.

IMPD said Rachel McAfee, 36, faces a preliminary charge of neglect of a dependent causing death. Her daughter, Emma, was found dead inside a vehicle near Township Line Road and 96th Street Tuesday afternoon.

Rachel’s husband says his wife and daughter left their home on Creekstone drive on Indy’s far east side Monday morning before Rachel suddenly stopped answering her phone.

Rachel McAfee was supposed to drop their daughter off with family members and then go to work for a meeting. However, she never showed up.
